    Show us your Phoenix straps

    Since the announcement that, sadly, Phoenix straps will soon be no more I thought maybe we could put together a gallery of pictures?

    Here's a couple of late 1960s watches with some natty / tatty...

    Monnin or "Monnin"? Copying the design doesn't equate to copying the quality. With the Chinese watches I've owned it's been the case that lets them down; I miss the days when Eddie et al. used...

    I've had a very rough patch lately (see the Tapering Strips thread) and this last week in particular has been hellish. The single biggest thing that has helped is having people to talk to. Andy’s...

    The perezcope instagram "reveal" has run into the sand: predictably, it seems Norgay's sons aren't talking. They certainly don't seem willing to confirm what watch was worn on the summit. Why? ...

    Matt your experiment is invalid because it doesn’t use goldfish.

    Wilsdorf actually invented water, fish and time itself— all Rolex “firsts”. A lot of people think Jesus said “I am the Alpha and...

    As above but 3 bedrooms are more rentable than 2 and some areas have better price:earnings ratio (you want somewhere in the sweet spot between high employment rates and low property prices)

    This thread is another reason why I love tz-uk (or dadsnet as my wife calls it).

    I’m fond of a torch or two but this has sent me down a (well-lit) rabbit hole.

    I'm a landlord and I use an agent. I don't understand the arrangement here. What is the owner paying the agents for? Just to be a buffer, a shield to hide behind? Maybe that's some sort of...

    Thanks I enjoyed that! My mum is Norwegian and was born in 1950 so I've sent this to her. And my dad is from Oxford, so that part will be of interest to him.

    Thanks, Mj2k.

    The half-life varies hugely and has an effect on missing or reducing doses. Classic Prozac, for example, has a relatively very long half-life and takes weeks (iirc) to fully clear...

    Alas, things have not gone according to plan.

    Sunday night / Monday morning was horrendous. I felt like my body was on fire, but also very cold; I was anxious, restless and very nauseous. I...

    Yes, I think Stan's methodology is sound though: as I understand it, he ignores advertising and other PR claims (which is a very good idea as far as Rolex is concerned!). He wants independent proofs...

    Two week update.

    Today (Sunday) is the end of my second week (only 46 more to go!)

    As I mentioned I had a rough patch last Sunday (at exactly 1 week in and 1 milligram reduction as it happens)....

    I think Rolex has stuffed their mouths with gold. For the record, if they'd like me to stop posting on this subject I want a 1016. No need for box and papers but unpolished case and a recent...
